Zeke POV

My parents called a family meeting today and my siblings and I had to be there.

If we don't show up our parents will cut us off from our inheritance.

I've sat through some ridiculous things through the years.

A couple years ago I was sitting in the living room with my twin brother.

Our parents walked into the living room carrying a Santa Suit.

I laughed. "Who's being Santa this year?"

Mum points to Jeremy (my twin).
"You will be delivering presents to the kids at the local hospital."

Jeremy shook his head. "I don't want to be Santa. Do you know how ridiculous I'll look in the baggy suit?"

Dad lifts the suit up. "You have to try it on. That way your  Mum knows what she needs to do with it."

Jeremy takes it from Dad and walks away.

I shake my head. "What are you going to make us do next, dress like a Fairy?"

Dan hits my arm. "Shut up. I don't want you to give our parents anymore ideas."

I shrug. "It would be funny to see you dressed as one."

My brother tackles me and I fall off the chair. He throws a punch to my jaw.

I punch him in the gut and then face.

My twin steps into the room and u start laughing. I point to the door. "Look, Dan."

He looks at the door and starts to laugh. "I thought I looked bad in that. Jeremy, looks worst."

I hi-five my brother and then take my seat at the dining table.

Jeremy glares at us. "Are you two arseholes, done?"

I shake my head. "No, I can keep going all day."

He rolls his eyes.

Mum walks around my brother looking for things to fix on the suit to make it fit him.

I shake my head from the memories of that family meeting.

Jeremy and Dan sit across from me with their wives.

Mum and Dad enter the living room and they take a seat.

Dad clears his throat. "Now, that I've got your attention." He looks at me. "Zeke, since you refuse to settle down, you're mother and I got you an early Christmas present."

I frown. "What's that?"

Mum smiles. "We got you a Wife for Christmas."

My mouth drops open. "You can take back that present. I don't want it."

Dad bangs his fist on the table. "You will accept your gift gracefully or..."

I rise. "... Or you'll cut me off? Well go ahead. I make more money than you have in the bank."

"Don't you walk away from me boy."

I open the front door and jump in my car.

I'm not getting married.
